They certainly do!
Here is what Rush said on Feb 29, from his transcript:
RUSH: What does it say about the college co-ed Sandra Fluke, who goes before a congressional committee and essentially says that she must be paid to have sex, what does that make her? It makes her a slut, right? It makes her a prostitute. She wants to be paid to have sex. She’s having so much sex she can’t afford the contraception. She wants you and me and the taxpayers to pay her to have sex. What does that make us? We’re the pimps. (interruption) The johns? We would be the johns? No! We’re not the johns. (interruption) Yeah, that’s right. Pimp’s not the right word. Okay, so she’s not a slut. She’s “round heeled.” I take it back.
Please note last three sentences. He was giving a logic methodology lesson.

As an employer, I’ve been incensed for some time about the fact that I cannot offer a health-care plan to my employees that doesn’t include psychiatric care. At first blush, it seems harmless doesn’t it? Let me assure you it isn’t.
Psyche care is mandated by the state of Virginia, and others. I am told that psychiatric care is becoming the largest driver of premium increases. It also provides the path toward disability from SS for many. It is simply too easy for patients and unscrupulous doctors to abuse. Too many gray areas that aren’t the case with most physical maladies that health insurance was designed to cover.
I don’t mean to belittle the discussion as to religious freedom, but the problem is mandates period. I hope we aren’t taking our eye off the ball. Employers and employees should be left to work these things out. That makes this a freedom issue, not limited to just religious freedom.
Egads.
The big failure in all this has not been Rush Limbaugh (although I think his unfortunate choice of language gave the left exactly the opening they were hoping for to discredit waht he actually said) but the bishops, who have failed to discipline the "progressives" and have in fact let them make it seem as if they, the "progressives," are the real teaching authority in the Church.
Nutshell:
Left: “not only are we going to actively oppose Christianity and Christian morality, we’re going to force Christians to subsidize that opposition.”
According to the National Cancer Institute, there is an increased risk of cancer for women who take oral contraceptives. Does this mean the democrats want women to get cancer?
the score is 1-0 sin at the end of the first period...
GREAT article.
